Post what you tried.

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{API_KEY}/searchteams.php?t=Chicago_Bulls
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{API_KEY}/searchteams.php?t=Chicago%20Bulls

Both work fine for me.

Partial strings aren't supported.

If you search for "Paris" then those teams don't show either, so its not just football.

Yes sorry I had to disable fuzzy search for performance reasons. I will take a look at the possibility of making it available again, now the site is back to full speed.

My apologies, I wasn't aware that partial/fuzzy strings were available.

I'm debating whether to re-introduce this as a lot of people use it for simple team lookups. Can I ask what your use case is?

hey there.
i just ran into the exact same problem with the (newly working) Plex-Agent
https://github.com/mmmmmtasty/SportScanner/issues/32

filenames are often only "packers.vs.ravens", which results in ... well, no result. because it needs the full name "green bay packers vs Baltimore ravens".

So +1 for adding fuzzy search again^^

Would fuzzy search work for events? or just for team lookups?

Hopefully fixing the SportScanner API key issue helped.

Sure all fixed now. Site speed seems stable after some tests so it should be permanent.
